00C: This board is for Me, Wolfie, Cheetah, and Kuro ONLY. BIC:
" Don't move," Graystone growled, throwing Tsuki onto the ground. Hawkstorm whapped her claws against her father's face.
" I said don't touch her!" Hawkstorm roared. Graystone scratch Hawkstorm's eye. She yelped in pain and stumbled backwards, before placing herself ahead of Tsuki and infront of her father. She said nothing, though her eyes were filled with hate and betrayal." Just WAIT until Ryuu comes to save us!" Pausing, she added " And Shadowlurker."
Graystone laughed. " Look around you, daughter of mine. Your surrounded!" He cackled.
Hawkstorm looked around slowly. Eyes appeared everywhere; eyes of Graystone's followers.

"An army-" Tsuki mewed, caughing on the fall for a momebt before she could properly collect herself. Standing, she continued: "An army... is nothing without their leader. Don't forget...if you fall...or show a sign of weakness...they will leave you. Do not put your trust...in what takes moons to create...and only seconds to fall." She looked over her shoulder and eyes the blood on her neck before taking in the scene.
At least Graystone had it all planned out.
They were trapped.
"Though I'll give you enough credit for what you have wasted your life on. You must be proud of yourself: maniopulating hearts to do what you please, what you fear to do yourself. Ryuu had it right. You knew that you would not win this fight. So you had to get backup." Her voice was in a high tone, high and yet cold. Her air of sueriority shown in her words, even here. Even in the presance of death.

Graystone let out a ferocious roar and slammed Tsuki against a wall " I said keep quiet." Hawkstorm let out a roar close enough to be Graystone's and barreled her father over.
" I said don't touch her!" Hawkstorm growled. The two became one tussling mound of fur, growling and snarrling at eachother as they rolled onto the ground until finally Hawkstorm was slammed against the stone cave's wall. Her shoulder throbbed, she hurled herself at her father again. Then she was slammed against the wall again. She screamed in pain, tears in her eyes as she coughed up blood. Hawkstorm fell to her paws and crawled over to Tsuki's side without a word.

Tsuki took a breath to speak, but dropped it as Hawkstorm came to her side. The she-cat leved herself with the warrior and gave her a gentle lick, huddling closer before she would dare utter her final words. "Why? What purpose could you have for going after your daughter? No amount of anything should cause a cat to do that." She propped herself up against a tree as she spoke, ready to move if Graystone decided to have her meet the wall once more. "Say nothing, Hawkstorm," Tsuki muttered under her breath to the warrior, in wait for another blow. "This time, I'm asking for it."

Graystone opened his mouth to say a retort, but Hawkstorm let out a growl. She didn't care what happened- she wouldn't get Tsuki hurt. Before Ivorysoul decided on anything she made her promise she would watch Tsuki. Graystone narrowed his eyes at his daughter. " I'm warning you..."
" And I'm warning you," Hawkstorm growled. She stood up with a bit of a stumble. The army of Graystone's Followers (GF's) narrowed their eyes at her, when a sudden scent flooded into her. Ivorysoul! Hawkstorm whirled to face the siamese warrior.

Tiko walked in and laughted, "Get another rouge army.'' He sat up and curled his tail around him.

Tsuki followed Hawkstorm's gaze and shifted her own to Ivorysoul. "Mother? What are you doing here?" she mewed, slowly making her way in the queen's direction. Her white legs nearly failed her with every step, eyes a whirlwind of surprise, joy. Anger. What was Ivorysoul doing with the rouges? Did she have any idea what she was getting into?! "Where did you go?"

Ivorysoul said nothing, just approached Graystone. Graystone nodded. Ivorysoul leaped onto the ledge with the other goons.
" I told you she'd come find Graystone!" hawkstorm muttered. Ivorysoul's blue eyes were a dull shade of grey, though she gave Graystone a cold stare.
" You will not touch my daughter," Ivorysoul growled, before dissapearing behind the ledge. Graystone said nothing.
" You, Hawksomething. Move the short one to the back." Graystone growled. Hawkstorm scooped up Tsuki weakly and carried her to the back of the cave, frail.

"Yes but..." Tsuki mewed, trailing off. I never thought she'd end up joining them. She sighed as the floor make contact with her paws a few times before actually being released of Hawkstorm's grip, unsure if the warrior had done it intentionlly or not. "Hawkstorm, you should rest," she mewed gingerly as her paws rested Tsuki at the back wall. She sumoned the she-cat with a wave of her tail for companionship, glancing at her necklace for a moment before laying her head on her paws.

||Kuro stalks Hawkstorm's brain.||
Hawkstorm limped over to Tsuki's side and plopped onto the ground, her paws heavy. Graystone snorted and leaped onto the ledge, watching coldly. " Ryuu and Shadowlurker will come for us." She reassured her. Graystone's ears pricked. Hawkstorm's flexed her claws, giving her father a warning stare.

Wavepaw looked around at the rougues around him. There was nothing to do but give in. He let out a frustrated hiss and padded over to where Hawkstorm and Tsuki were."What are we going to do now?" he muttered. He looked down at his leg and found that his wound had opened up again and a small trickle of blood was running out of it. He bent down and began cleaning it, while his eye watched every movement of the rogues.
//BAD!!! T.T//

" I'll tell you what not to do! Don't make Graystone angry." Hawkstorm mewed. Where her fur was supposed to be white it was tinted pink with blood that Hawkstorm had licked up. Her shoulder throbbed now, but at least she had protected Tsuki. Just as Ryuu had asked her to. Hawkstorm would save anyone in this cave from her father. She felt as if it was her own fault her father still lived. She vowed she would throw her life away for Tsuki of Wavepaw, even though she still held a grudge against Wavepaw.

Wavepaw nodded curtly."But we can't just sit here and do nothing like helpless kits. We have to do something." He whispered softly so that no one could hear him except Tsuki and Hawkstorm. He glanced at Greystone and then back at Hawkstorm. He could see the hurt on her face when she saw that her father had returned. He could almost feel her pain peircing his heart like a thorn. If Greystone dies maybe Hawkstorm's pain will disapper... he thought silently to himself. His thoughts were interrupted by a loud growl that came from his stomach. With all that happened he hadn't eaten anything since yesterday morning. His stomack let out another growl as he bent down to lick it, trying to calm it down. He spotted some berries not to far away and slowly creeped towrads it and snagged some in his paws. He padded back over to Hawkstorm before the GF noticed what he did.

||Yes I do. *eats pizza*||
Tsuki sighed and began licking the hardened blood from her neck, mind drifting from Ryuu to Hawkstorm and Wavepaw. Though she didn't know the tom apprentince well enough to call his stregnths, he wouldn't be able to hold much much more of a fight than Hawkstorm or herself. "We will do something. We'll wait. Hawkstorm's right- we can't get Graystone mad, or we all die. Ryuu will come soon. I know he will." Her gaze was cast in any direction; they scanned for a way out, a way of escape. It came up futile. "Until then, there's nothing we can do but try and live." Tsuki had lost her characetristic optimisum in the drear of the room. But she was right. Without her brother, they were lost.

" Then you do something," Hawkstorm growled to Wavepaw. " Idiot." She added to herself before edging closer to Tsuki. " Ryuu will come." She promised. " And until then, I'll protect you."
" They're hungry." Ivorysoul mewed from nowhere.
" They're fine." Graystone growled.
" No they aren't. I'm going hunting for them." Ivorysoul mewed stubbornly and leaped out of the cave. Graystone let out a throaty growl.
" LIke I was saying, Ryuu will come. He will not leave you here. Though I fear I may not be able to see Ryuu return to come for you." Hawkstorm mewed. She shifted her gaze to the ground, her memory fixed on how she had watched Ryuu grow up.

Tsuki gave Hawkstorm a gentle lick, resting her head on the warrior with a sigh. "I know," she whispered, eyes closed. "I know. But until then, we're going to watch each other. Don't count me out yet- I was bron with the same skill as Ryuu." She paused. "Just not the heart."

" You're heart is more similar to Ryuu's heart than you think. Actually, you and you're brother are the only two cats in the world I can call 'friend' anymore." Hawkstorm mewed. What it sounded likes was: I love your brother. And everyone else has left me.

The she-cat smiled, ears flicking at the last of her words. Hindsight whispered in her with the underlying text- the love for her brother. A mixed fury of pain and care knocked Tsuki off balence for a moment, throwing her small body against the nearest wall. The hint of blood stung at the back of her throat as her head shook to clear it. "Stupid wall..." she hissed under her breath and returned to Hawkstorm and Wavepaw's side. Her legs trembled slightly as the she-cat dropped to the ground. The necklace that hung from her neck began to glow a deep red; it was similar to what Ryuu could note on his own. A caterwaul rang through Tsuki's mind- her brother was coming. And not a moment too soon.
||When should I bring Ryuu and Shadowlurker in? Later or sooner?||

Wavepaw's fur stood on the end when Hawkstorm said that Tsuki and Ryuu were the only cats that she could call friends. He still felt guilty for making her so heartbroken, but he couldn't do anything about it. He loved Silentpaw and that was that. She was one of the few cats that completely trusted him. Most cats still had doubts about him because he was the son of Tigerheart. He crouched down and ate the berries in a few rapid bites."Here you guys can have them. Your as hungry as me." He pushed the berried towards the two she cats.

Tsuki blinked and pushed the rest of the berries to Hawkstorm. "I'm fine, thanks," she mewed quietly. Her voice had become nearly inaudible, her mind lost in thought; had she ever really eaten anything before? No, not really. Just enough to get by. And why? Because she was always with Ryuu. It seemed like fate was begining to pull the brother and sister apart, seperated by time and space. Maybe they shouldn't be that close anymore. No. Stop thinking like that. You love your brother, and you love Hawkstorm as the best you could ever have. Stop thinking. Now isn't when you should care, even if it is the only chance you get at it. Tsuki sighed and rested her head on her paws once more, eyes fluttering shut. Now was time for rest. The time for war would soon be upon the cats soon enough.

Wavepaw layed down across from the she cats. He felt tired as if he hadn't slept for moons. He had traveled two days straight without eating or resting. He closed his eyes and fell asleep.He dreamed of him playing in the forest as if he was still a kit. Suddenly a blanket of darkeness covered him. Two gleaming eyes came out of the darkness. Then a whole army came out. It was the GF and RA. They headed straight for his camp and began killing every cat. Suddenly Leopardclaw came up from behind and raked his claw down his back."What!?" he mewed suddenly, waking up from the nightmare. He looked around him to see that the GF was still surrounding them. It was just a dream he thought and began to groom his touseld fur.

Tsuki's ears twitched as Wavepaw awoke, one eye lifting to see the tom. "Fear not, Wavepaw. If something bad happens, you are not alone." A yawn escaped her as she dug her head deeper into her white fur. "You're never alone...." Sleep swept the she-cat from the glowing eyes of Graystone's Followers, lending her next to Ryuu. It was often what the state would do, bring the two together. It proved helpful at times like this. Both necklaces began to glow a deep green for a moment as the tom veered direction, turning up the nearest mountian and scaling a small riverpath. Tsuki smiled. He had found the trail once more. Her trance was kept deep, visions of Ryuu and the elevated landscape eventually ebbing into darkness, time seeping away. He would be there soon enough.

Wavepaw nodded and fell asleep again. This time their was no dream. Just an empty field filled with nothing, but twoleg homes. I have the wierdest dreams... He thought and continued to walk the path down the winding roads, not knowing where they lead.

Hawkstorm waited until the cats were both asleep to move up closer to the front of the cave, lashing her tail as she felt her father's cold stare. Ivorysoul padded in with a vole and a mouse. Hawkstorm hadn't touched the berrries. Instead she put the vole and mouse in front of Wavepaw and Tsuki for when they woke up. She lay closer to the front of the cave, so that if anything happened, Hawkstorm would get the death blow instead of Tsuki or Wavepaw. Lost deep in thought, Hawkstorm couldn't sleep. Her dull blue eyes floated in the darkness, facing the cave entrance. Watching... Waiting...

Wavepaw woke up to the smell of fresh kill. He slowly sat up and began eating the mouse in a few rapid bites. He spotted Hawkstorm in the front of the as if she was protecting them."You don't have to protect us you know. We are both perfectly capable of protecting ourslevles.'Wavepaw mewed and sat down next to Hawkstorm. Why did she want so much to throw away her life?

Hawkstorm growled. " Go to the back you furball," She nearly roared. " Stay away from me. I promised Ryuu I'd protect Tsuki and Tigerheart made me promise to protect any of his kits, you included. Unfortunately." Hawkstorm used her tail to shove the tom over a bit.

Wavepaw let out a frustrated sigh. Hawkstorm was still mad at him."I'm sorry Hawkstorm." he mewed."I didn't mean to hurt you. Besides you treated me as if you hated me. I would think that ment that you wanted me to stay as far from you as possible." He sat down behind her just to make her happy. He glanced occasionly back at Tsuki to see if she was still asleep.

" I do want you to stay away from me." Hawkstorm mewed. " Wavepaw, I'm going to die here. In this cave. Tonight." Hawkstorm eye's were sorrowful. " I'll never love again, Wavepaw. I've guided so many and they've all fallen in love and led happy lives. But I never had a chance to guide myself."

"That's because you never gave yourself a chance," Tsuki mewed quietly, pushing herself up in shaky paws. "Normally I don't like cats that only complain, but for you...it's be okay if you got what you wanted sometimes. It's okay to let yourself be heard. You've helped so many, Hawkstorm. They just haven't had the chance to pay you back." Her voice was still weak, but her spirit began to lift; Ryuu was ready. He would be there the moment he had a chance to strike. "Please don't die tonight. You haven't had a chance to live your life yet."

"Why do you have to die here? Every cat respects you in the clan. You a strong and noble warrior. I'm not going to sit back and watch you die." He mewed, bitterly. Nightpaw was right. SHe is going to die soon... "Hawkstorm look around you. Lots of cats love you. Shadowlurker for intense." His amber eyes watching her intently.
